Ford can’t get out of their own way when it comes to recalls. With the changes to the 2025 super duties I would be tempted to look at the 2025 Ram!
An Old FORD 7.3 would be a GREAT SUBSTITUTE, Thing will RUN Forever.
How in the heck does a PCM update affect biodiesel deposits on the high pressure pump???
This issue is a deficiency in pump design, not a software issue.
What the hell is reprogramming the PCM gonna do when the HPFP has already failed or going to fail. The only fix is to replace the HPFP with a S&S diesel fuel pump.
It’s like Re Programing the 10R80 TRANNY. It ain’t gonna do a DANG THING. FORD NEEDS to Start BUILDING the Tranny’s with Decent Parts!
What about the early 6.7 l diesels we have the same crappy Bosh fuel pump. Mine failed At 40K miles. Installed an S&S disaster prevention kit. This is only a temporary fix. S&S has a replacement pump to really fix the problem. Ford should step up and fix their trucks
